PSG's Champions League woes highlight Monaco achievements - Jardim

PSG were beaten 5-2 on aggregate by Real Madrid in the last 16, having fallen at the same stage last year as Barcelona overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit to dramatically progress 6-5.

Monaco were knocked out in the group stage this season, but reached the semi-finals last term and the quarter-finals two years earlier, with Jardim highlighting his side's accomplishments as PSG and Unai Emery come under pressure.

"This shows once again that it is very difficult to go to the quarter-finals, the semi-finals of the Champions League," the Monaco coach told a pre-match news conference ahead of their Ligue 1 clash with Strasbourg on Friday.

"It is a way to further enhance the [achievements of the] Monaco project because we did it twice in three seasons."
